17:11:20 rrsagent, make log world
17:11:40 meeting: HTML Techniques Task Force
17:11:55 chair: Joshue
17:12:11 Agenda + Review submitted Techniques
17:12:17 scribeNick: James
17:12:20 scribeNick: jnurthen
17:12:33 zakim, take up item one
17:12:33 'one' does not match any agenda item, Joshue108
17:12:37 zakim, take up item 1
17:12:37 agendum 1. "Review submitted Techniques" taken up [from Joshue108]
17:12:54 JOC: A couple of techiques submitted
17:13:25 JOC: I have started a couple of draft techniques
17:14:45 http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Using_the_html5_required_attribute_to_indicate_that_a_value_is_required_in_an_input_field
17:15:09 TOPIC: Review of HTML5 Required Technique (URI above)
17:16:13 LGR: Trace wiki - will be there until it stops working
17:17:06 LGR: better to use the w3c wiki - but if you have credetntials can use it
17:17:17 JOC: be aware that not everyone can edit on the trace wiki
17:17:33 DT: Just used this because this is what I had available
17:17:47 DT: just let me know where tyo transfer it to
17:18:15 JOC: Straightforward technique
17:18:37 q+
17:18:50 DM: Whole user agent support issue
17:19:04 DM: There are a whole bunch of different ways of specifying required
17:19:42 DM: want a few examples rather than one
17:20:26 JN: as long as our exmaples are correct I think that is enough
17:20:35 JN: isn it enough to link to the spec?
17:21:32 JN: I think we should use best practice
17:22:11 LGR: don't want to jst refer to the spec
17:22:27 JOC: Both syntaxes are correct
17:23:25 Adam: can't be comprehensive - but as developers are used to using values for their attributes may want to add this here
17:23:38 JOC: issue of multiple syntaxes is going to come up again
17:24:03 Adam: If using required by iteslf should also include the other
17:25:19 required is the same as required="true" which equals required="false" which equals required=0
17:27:39 Adam: required="required" seems to be used
17:27:48 Is this the right link? http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#attr-select-required
17:28:41 LGR: asking about relationship to aria-required
17:29:34 JN: I think if in the same techiqiue we confuse the user aganet support
17:30:07 http://john.foliot.ca/required-inputs/
17:30:33 ??: Is this AT only or all user agents?
17:32:10 JOC: some are pretty accessible
17:33:16 LGR: what is is supposed to be doing according to the spec?
17:33:44 JOC: in some places the spec defines the user experience but on other places it doesn't
17:34:11 LGR: wouldn't expect to define the visual experience but would perhaps expect that if trying to submit it would fail
17:35:04 http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/common-input-element-attributes.html#the-required-attribute
17:35:54 http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attribute
17:38:17 JN: what are we going to do for boolean attributes in html5? Both styles or one?
17:38:29 JOC: I think we should think about it a little more
17:39:08 http://www.eramp.com/david/html5/required.html
17:39:14 LGR: we should include the link to the correct place in the spec but should also help people in plain english
17:40:51 lgr: Is it clear what kind of modifications need doing?
17:41:29 DT: have a few notes about UA support, test procedure and ....
17:41:41 LGR: needs some work on the test prodedure
17:41:59 Adam: we assume that the presence of the required attribute satisfies the success criteria
17:42:09 DT: poerhaps take out step number 2
17:42:35 http://www.eramp.com/david/html5/html5_forms.html
17:43:16 JN: depends what success criteria you are trying to meet
17:43:58 LGR: This could also be a 3.3.2 techique with user agent notes
17:45:27 But 3.3.2 would still need a label, in addition.
17:48:45 LGR: sounding less like a 3.3.2 candidate even for parialt
17:49:02 s/parialt/parital/
17:49:20 s/parital/partial/
17:49:38 Adam: would like to see more visual discussion
17:50:23 JOC: can add CSS to the field.
17:50:43 LGR: could do a sufficient technique for this - need to look at H90
17:51:04 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-TECHS/H90.html could be a model for how to write a 3.2.2 technique.
17:51:19 It would need CSS and label as well as required attribute.
17:52:45 LGR: H90 discusses what the group thought was minimally acceptable
17:53:42 For each indicator of required status that is not provided in text, check that the meaning of the indicator is explained before the form control that uses it.
17:54:41 LGR: concern is that * is easy to miss
17:55:11 JOC: I like having the text required in the label
17:58:45 JN: I think this should be a seperate technique
17:58:49 LGR: agree
